It's another Plan Nerd Sunday

I think for anyone to be organized
you need to have a plan.  For so long,
I've not had one.  I just had "to do" lists.
I decided last spring to get with it and go BACK
to a paper planner and I'm so glad I did.

Hello!  This is Cathy from Mimi's Craft Corner.
I am part of the Creative Crew for 

Today, I'm sharing a couple of stamp
sets that I use when I plan my week
on Sunday.  I have a video for you,
so sit back with your favorite coffee or tea
and let's get organized!

Happy Monochromatic Monday!

March!  Yippee -- in Indiana we can
start thinking GREEN!
Hello, today I'm designing for 

St. Patty's Day is just around
the corner, so in it's honor
I made a set of my favorite 3x3 cards.


Keeping with the Monochromatic Challenge, my 
white card base is 6x3 along with another
layer of white cut at 2 7/8 x 2 7/8.
I ran that layer through my Cuttlebug for
some dimension.


I added a shamrock die cut and sentiment
The sentiment
is stamped on a small label that I 
cut with my Silhouette.  

Just a hint, I cut
out an entire 12x12 sheet of 4 different
sizes of labels in white.  I have them in a
little photo box and can reach for them anytime
I need something special.

I did ink around very lightly with Tim Holtz
Distress ink on the label to make it stand out.


To finish off my card, I added 


I can't get enough of these
You cannot believe how many projects you 
will get out of your packet!


The Olive Green Twine is on SALE!
Don't wait on this one.  This is a staple
color you will use time and time again!

Thank you for stopping by!
I will be back shortly with another fun
post for Planner Sunday!  Don't miss it!

I'm loving my planners - yes I have more than one!

Shaker cards & Sequins!
Really, how much more fun
can I take?  Today I'm creating for
and I'm so excited to share two of my favorite
things.  I love to make shaker cards and
I truly love sequins.

It's a bit gloomy in Indiana as we are facing
another cold and snowy weekend, so I
decided to create some sunshine on my own.

The sun is from the Silhouette store and seriously
using a cut from there is the EASIEST way to
create this fun card.  All you do is choose
what paper you want the sun cut from and load
white paper in for the rest.  The Silhouette cuts out
all the layers, you glue them together and add
in your fun sequins!  How fun and 
beautiful!  

I used the following products by
Timeless Twine & BellaCreationz


Clearly Beloved Sequins


Lemonade Yellow Twine



Solid Black Twine

I added a little sprinkle of 
Martha Stewart chunky glitter
in my shaker and a sentiment
at the bottom.

What a fun card!

Thank you for stopping in to see me today.

Make sure and visit

Now - let's get shakin'!!!

It's a FUN FRIDAY at Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz

I have the MOST fun when
I'm making treat bags!
Today I'm sharing with you a 
simple yet fun idea for making
Valentine treats for the office,
school, neighbors, or just anyone
you want to give a SWEET little gift.

Who doesn't love OREO cookies???
I found these cute little treat bags
in the dollar bin at Target last year.
I had to buy them hoping I would find something
cute to add in them.  That OREO cookie
commercial got me and even though
I couldn't find the Red Velvet Oreos,
these looked pretty good!

Five cookies fit nicely in the 
bag and I made a bag topper out
of two 4x4 sheets of designer paper.

My sentiment comes from the
HAPPY DAYS stamp set
from Bella Creationz.  This set 
covers ALL your needs with
every sentiment you could 
possibly need.


I added a die cut heart and stamped a 
Peachy Keen Face stamp to add a
little personality.  I topped it off with 
Strawberry Cupcake Timeless Twine and Clear
sequins from Bella Creationz.



It's time for your FUN FRIDAY project!

Don't forget your stamp set!

What will you make?

It's all about the presentation!

How many times have we
heard that it's all about the
presentation?  Or "you never have a 
2nd chance to make a 1st impression.

Giving a handmade gift is no 
exception.  Presentation is EVERYTHING!



I love making small 3x3 notecards.  While tidying
up my work space after Christmas, I ran across
tons of snowflake die cuts and I wanted to
use them up.  They were the perfect addition
to this small notecard set.

I made up two sets of cards and secured them
with ribbon from my stash and Timeless
Twine.  Check out the video and
tell me what you think!

Thanks for stopping by!
